application of Hong Kong ordinances.

(The doubt would, for instance, remain whether

such ordinances applied in the waters off the

coast of Lantao about which the Governor

would give your views on them in replying

I am writing similarly to

(To 1) Cardo of the Admiralty

(To 2) Coates of the Foreign Office,

Yours sincerely,

(Lys) R. E. Radford.
